(a) Denise received $640.

(b) The total amount the bank charged Denise was £11

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions and Percentages

The exchange rate between the American Dollar ($) and the British Pound(£) is $1.60= £1.

(a) Denise changed £400 into dollars. Applying the exchange rate:

£400 = 1.60*400 = $640

Denise received $640.

(b) To change the money, we need to add both fees the bank charged Denise:

A fixed amount of £3

2% of £400 = £8

The total amount the bank charged Denise was £11

How do you find the percentage of a number?

Dahasolnce [82]

To find the percentage of a number multiply it by whatever decimal you are using or a fraction that you have to convert into a decimal to find the percent. Example: What is 10% of 25? (.10)(25) = 2.5 so 10% of 25 is 2.5.

Josie simplified an expression as shown below. In which step did Josie make mistake(s)?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

D. Step 1 only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Josie didn't use the distributive property correctly. The other two steps are still right, so D is correct.

How it should have been done:

x + 3 + 7x(x - 5)

Use the distributive property to multiply 7x by x - 5.

x + 3 + 7x² - 35x (The boldened part is what should have happened for Step 1)

Combine x and -35x to get -34x.

7x² - 34x - 3 is what the earlier equation should be simplified to.

Find all the solutions of the given equations in the interval [0,2pi) tan^3x=tanx and cos 3x=-cos3x

slamgirl [31]

$\tan^3x=\tan x$
$\tan^3x-\tan x=0$
$\tan x(\tan^2x-1)=0$
$\tan x(\tan x-1)(\tan x+1)=0$
$\begin{cases}\tan x=0\\\tan x-1=0\\\tan x+1=0\end{cases}$

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}=0\implies \sin x=0\implies x=0,\pi$

$\tan x-1=0\iff\tan x=1\implies x=\dfrac\pi4,\dfrac{5\pi}4$

$\tan x+1=0\iff\tan x=-1\implies x=\dfrac{3\pi}4,\dfrac{7\pi}4$

- - -

$\cos3x=-\cos3x$
$2\cos3x=0$
$\cos3x=0\implies 3x=\dfrac\pi2,3x=\dfrac{3\pi}2\implies x=\dfrac\pi6,x=\dfrac\pi2$

This doesn't account for all the solutions, however; there are some values of $x$ that push $3x$ outside the interval $[0,2\pi)$ , so let's take a few more:

$3x=\dfrac{5\pi}2\implies x=\dfrac{5\pi}6$
$3x=\dfrac{7\pi}2\implies x=\dfrac{7\pi}6$
$3x=\dfrac{9\pi}2\implies x=\dfrac{9\pi}6$
$3x=\dfrac{11\pi}2\implies x=\dfrac{11\pi}6$

We can stop there, since the next candidate gives

$3x=\dfrac{13\pi}2\implies x=\dfrac{13\pi}6>2\pi$

How can you solve problems involving equivalent expressions?

DochEvi [55]

You should first fully understand what an equivalent expression is. This type of expression is an equation that are the same, even though they might look a little different at first glance. When you try to substitute a value to the expression, they will result in the same value at the end.

Happy Studying!
